AYLA MARIN

"Don't worry, Nathan and his family are fine, we're finding a way to get you out of here, just follow what they say until we find a safe way." Blacke. The note is short and to the point. My mind races just thinking that I'm going to stay here until they can save me, I let out an irritated sigh, but I have no choice, groaning, I throw the paper back on the nightstand. Soon they change me and I must sleep. The next morning I am awakened by the three maids who enter the room, silent as a breeze. After fifteen minutes of suffering through skin-tight leather pants, a draped dress, and other strange, impossible-to-wear outfits, we decide on the simplest thing I can find in the closet of wonders. Black pants, tight and tight, a dark blue coat with silver buttons, and light gray boots. Despite the shiny hair and heavy makeup, I almost look like myself. Lian waits in front of the door, tapping her foot on the marble floor. _____________ A minute late-she says as soon as I step into the hall.
